Prepare ALE data for violin plots

Description

Prepare ALE data for violin plots

Usage

ale2violin(
  iMatrixAle = NULL,
  iMatrixAleGrp = NULL,
  groups,
  facet_groups = groups,
  facet_name = "Group",
  maxGroupMeanALE = 2,
  removeAboveAleNum = "ale3",
  maxGroupMeanFloor = 0,
  returnAll = FALSE,
  geneLists,
  lineAlpha = 0.1,
  subsetFunc = NULL,
  make_ggplots = TRUE,
  verbose = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

groups	vector of group labels, named by colnames(iMatrixALE).
facet_groups	vector of group labels, named by colnames(iMatrixALE), as a possible alternative to using the groups, for example for higher level grouping.
facet_name	character string used to label the facet_groups.
maxGroupMeanALE	numeric value indicating the threshold for including an ALE in the output data, where the max group mean (the highest group mean) is at least this value.
removeAboveAleNum	character string of the ALE colname to remove, restricting data to include only ALE values below this number. For example "ale3" would remove "ale3" and all higher ALE numbers, thereby restricting data to "ale1" and "ale2".
maxGroupMeanFloor	numeric threshold used as a noise floor.
returnAll	logical indicating whether to return intermediate data formats in the output results list.
geneLists	list containing vectors of genes, or a data.frame with two columns "gene_name" and "geneList", used to assign genes to one or more lists in the resulting violin plot.
lineAlpha	numeric value of alpha transparency, scaled between 0 and 1, used to draw lines from "_ale1" to "_ale2" on the violin plot.
subsetFunc	optional function that takes the tall format data used in the primary violin plot, and returns data in the same format after applying logic specific for filtering this data. Intended to restrict display of genes to groups or facet_groups that are relevant to each geneLists entry.
make_ggplots	logical indicating whether to create plot objects using ggplot2.
verbose	logical indicating whether to print verbose output
...	additional arguments are ignored.
iMatrixALE	numeric matrix of expression data containing ALE rows, as output from tx2ale(). Each rowname is expected to have a suffix "_ale1" where the number represents the stranded order of ALE elements in a given gene. Therefore "_ale1" is the shortest form, closest to the 5-prime end of the transcript, and "_ale2" is the next ALE element downstream, and so on.

Details

This function takes output from tx2ale(), applies some filtering to the output data, then returns a tall data.frame sufficient for viewing as a violin plot using ggplot2::geom_violin().
